 112 <p>Andrew,</p>
 113
 114 <p>It seems you tried to use a build tag which was not ready to rebuild BlueCat at that time. Also please note that the main BC build script has changed due to updating the BC cross compiler to version 3.4.3. The script is called do_it-bc5.0-gcc_3.4.3. You can get it from the BlueCat CVS. (/cm/CVS/BlueCat/eng/int/scripts).</p>
 115
 116 <p>Regarding the glib build problem we can not provide intelligent comments at this time as it seems that the 20050314 environment
 117 is not available for us on the jaguar machine.</p>
 118 </blockquote>
 119
 120 <p>What build tag are we supposed to use? I found R_5_2_1_ppc_20050319 and I assume that is what I should use. However the difference between do_it-bc5.0-gcc_3.4.3 and do_it-bc5.0 is merely:</p>
 121
 122 <div class="code"><pre>
 123 [int@jaguar loc_archive]$ diff do_it-bc5.0.orig do_it-bc5.0-gcc_3.4.3.orig
 124 108c108
 125 <   export BC_TARGET=$BLUECAT_TARGET_CPU-lynx-linux-bluecat
 126 ---
 127 >   export BC_TARGET=$BLUECAT_TARGET_CPU-lynx-linux-gnubc
 128 </pre></div>
 129
 130 <p>And, if I might ask, why all the version numbers in the file? Why isn't it just named do_it and depending on which CVS (RCS?) tag you use you get a 5.0 or a 5.0-gcc_3.4.3 version?</p>
 131
 132 <p>Also, with do_it-bg5.0-gcc_3.4.3 I suspect that the changes I made for the patch-spec (changing do_step to perform patches between steps 1 and 2 when run in stepwise fashion) have not be incorporated. Seems to me that there are two steps being done in automated mode (i.e. doing all steps at one time) that are not performed when doing things in a stepwise fashion. The first is the building of the new GNU Tools which is effectively step 0 and the second is this patching thing which is normally done between steps 1 and 2. Might I suggest that we make these regular steps in their proper order and renumber the rest?</p>
 133
 134 <p>Build is still failing (on Jaguar). I get to step4 and it fails with:</p>

 175 <h3>Native PPC Toolchain failure</h3>

 177 <p>Build of the Native PPC Toolchain keeps failing for me but not for Oleg. Oleg's been suggesting that I lower the ulimits to -s 100000 and -d 200000, which I did but which fails for me and not Oleg. Oleg writes:</p>

 180 <p>Perhaps the time of the day has some effect on the file system behaviour (or an increased local network activity during the business time has some adverse effect on the system stability). Please try to start the toolchain build at your end-of-business time.</p>
